Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geohazards pose significant threats to human society and the natural environment, and geodesy has long played a crucial role in understanding and mitigating these hazards. With the rapid advancement of remote sensing technologies and the increasing availability of high-resolution geospatial data, our ability to monitor and analyze geohazards has been greatly enhanced. Remote sensing provides a powerful means to observe and measure changes in the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere, offering critical insights into the processes and impacts of geohazards. In recent years, the integration of remote sensing with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques has emerged as a transformative approach, providing new tools and methodologies to enhance our capabilities in monitoring, analyzing, and predicting geohazards.
This Special Issue seeks to foster forward-looking discussions and collaborations by bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives and cutting-edge research. It provides a platform for researchers to share their experiences and advancements in leveraging AI and remote sensing techniques within the field of geodesy. Whether you are working on developing novel algorithms, improving data accuracy, enhancing predictive models, or exploring new ways to utilize geodetic and remote sensing data for geohazard applications, your contribution can help to shape the future of this dynamic and impactful area of research. This Special Issue aligns with the journal's scope by focusing on the intersection of geodesy, remote sensing, and AI, highlighting innovative approaches and applications that advance our understanding and management of geohazards.
This Special Issue, "Geodesy for Geohazards with AI Techniques", aims to explore cutting-edge applications of AI in geodesy for geohazard research. It focuses on how AI techniques can be integrated with traditional geodetic methods to provide innovative solutions for addressing various geohazards, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, subsidence, and ground deformation. We invite researchers from diverse fields to contribute their latest findings and insights on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- AI-driven data processing and analysis of geodetic and remote sensing observations (e.g., GNSS, Gravity, InSAR, LiDAR, satellite imagery);
- Machine learning approaches for geohazard risk assessment and early warning using remote sensing data;
- Deep learning applications in geodetic and remote sensing image analysis and interpretation;
- Integration of remote sensing data with AI for improved monitoring and prediction of geohazards;
- Case studies demonstrating the successful implementation of AI and remote sensing techniques in geohazard management.
